Cookies

I use cookies on my website, which are small data packets that do not damage your device. There are temporary cookies that are automatically deleted after your visit and persistent cookies that remain until you delete them or your browser removes them automatically.

Some cookies are essential for the website’s functionality, while others help analyze user behavior or enable advertising. Necessary cookies are stored based on legitimate interest (for a technically flawless and optimized service) under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis applies. If I request your consent for cookies, this is done under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, and you can revoke your consent at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about cookies, allow them in specific cases, block them entirely, or automatically delete them when closing the browser. Please note that disabling cookies may limit website functionality.

Consent/Refusal with Cookiebot (Cookie Banner)

I use Cookiebot's consent technology to collect and legally document your cookie preferences. Cookiebot is provided by Cybot A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark.

When visiting my website, a connection is established with Cookiebot’s servers to record your cookie preferences. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser to track your consent and any changes. The data is retained until you request its deletion, delete the Cookiebot cookie, or retention is no longer necessary. Legal retention requirements remain unaffected.

The use of Cookiebot serves to obtain legally required consent for cookie usage under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for website functionality and cannot be disabled in your system. They are typically only set when you take actions such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. You can configure your browser to block these cookies, but this may cause some parts of the website to stop functioning properly. These cookies do not store personal data.

These cookies help optimize the website by analyzing visitor activity. They count visits and traffic sources, allowing us to measure and improve website performance. They provide insights into popular and less-visited pages and track how users navigate the site. All data collected is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be traced back to you.

Website Analytics Tool

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Ireland Limited, Dublin, Ireland. This service helps analyze visitor behavior, such as page views, session duration, operating systems, and traffic sources.

Google Analytics also tracks mouse movements, scrolling, and clicks using modeling approaches and machine learning technologies. It utilizes technologies like cookies or device fingerprinting to recognize users and analyze their behavior.

The collected data is usually transferred to Google servers in the USA. Your consent to use Google Analytics is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, and you can revoke it at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on EU Standard Contractual Clauses, and Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework to ensure compliance with European data protection standards. More details: Google Privacy Terms & Data Privacy Framework.

Your Rights

Right to Access

You can request confirmation of whether and to what extent I process your personal data.

Right to Rectification

If I process incomplete or incorrect personal data, you can request correction or completion at any time.

Right to Erasure

You can request the deletion of your personal data if the reason for data collection no longer applies, if processing is unlawful, if it disproportionately affects your rights, or if processing is based on consent that you have revoked. However, certain legal obligations (e.g., tax regulations) may prevent immediate deletion.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You may request a restriction of processing if:

  • You contest the accuracy of the data.

  • The processing is unlawful, but you prefer restriction over deletion.

  • The data is no longer needed for its original purpose, but you need it to exercise legal claims.

  • You have objected to the processing, pending verification of overriding legitimate interests.

Right to Data Portability

You can request that I provide your data in a structured, common, and machine-readable format, provided the processing is based on consent or contractual necessity and is carried out automatically.

Right to Object

If I process your data based on legitimate interest or public interest, you can object if your protection interest outweighs my interest. You can also object to receiving advertising at any time without providing a reason.

Right to Withdraw Consent

You can withdraw your consent at any time, preventing further processing of your data for that purpose. However, this may impact your ability to use related services.

To exercise your rights, contact me via the contact form or email at valentina@vawidigital.com.
